Description
SELIM TURAN (1915-1994) Title: Untitled (Composition Abstrait), Medium: Oil on Canvas, Date: c. 1959, Size: 23.75 x 18 in. (Attrib.). Painter and sculptor aligned the concepts of "thesis, antithesis, synthesis" side by side with his life and art, and in so doing succeeded in establishing bridges between Eastern and Western cultures that at first sight are too subtle and fine to identify. The ‘Selim Turan. Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis exhibition at Sabanca University Sakp Sabanca Museum takes as its starting point works by the artist in the Istanbul University Collection and brings an unconventional interpretation to the period of modern Turkish art in the post-World War II period. Selim Turan divided his time between Paris and Istanbul from 1947 until his death, producing visual experiments influenced by the cultural milieux of both cities. As well as displaying these visual experiments for the first time, the exhibition aims to inspire a debate about numerous unknown works by the artist in terms of their experimental approach.
